I have a MKV file as follows:
Code: Select all
Audio #1
ID : 2
ID in the original source medi : 4352 (0x1100)
Format : DTS XLL
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Commercial name : DTS-HD Master Audio
Codec ID : A_DTS
Duration : 26 min 15 s
Bit rate mode : Variable / Constant
Bit rate : 3 638 kb/s / 1 509 kb/s

Channel layout : C L R Ls Rs LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz
Frame rate : 93.750 FPS (512 SPF)
Bit depth : 24 bits
Compression mode : Lossless / Lossy
Delay relative to video : 42 ms
Stream size : 683 MiB (10%)
Language : Italian
Default : Yes

Original source medium : Blu-ray
Audio #2
ID : 3
ID in the original source medi : 4353 (0x1101)
Format : DTS XLL
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Commercial name : DTS-HD Master Audio
Codec ID : A_DTS
Duration : 26 min 15 s
Bit rate mode : Variable / Constant
Bit rate : 2 031 kb/s / 1 509 kb/s

Compression mode : Lossless / Lossy
Delay relative to video : 42 ms
Stream size : 381 MiB (6%)

but when DGIndex demuxes it, the following audio files are produced:
Code: Select all
03 Una piccola ribellione_track2_ita_DELAY 9ms
03 Una piccola ribellione_track3_jpn_DELAY 9ms
Why?

You'd have to give me a sample that does that.

Thank you.
You are the most welcome.
I saw that gMKVExtractGUI shows an apparent and real delay.

gMKVExtractGUI does not work for me on my UHD display as required fields are obscured. What does it show for apparent and real?
Anyway, please try this and report back:

The MKV parser is very old moldy code that I got for free and which I do not want to have to get deep into. This is one of those expedient heuristic approaches. That means it seems to work but I'm not fully sure why.

Please report in author's thread. It's a very nice tool to use.

In this specific case, it shows the same values. It happened, on other videos, to show different ones.

It seems to report the correct delay in the output file. I just need to understand if it's the real one or the apparent one. When you need a proper file to test, none comes handy.

Perhaps you could use the same one that gMKVExtractGUI uses, i.e. MKVInfo and MKVExtract. Oh, an please show the stream delays in the demux panel, both apparent and real. Do not ask me how to find both.
P.S: MKVTools adapt output language to the regional settings. Remember to use --ui-language switch if you want to keep it external.

OK, first re-download DGIndexNV_test.zip and run with that. And thank you for your valuable feedback.
I muxed a video ES and an audio ES with mkvtoolnix using different delay combos. Here are the combos and the delays put in the audio filename by DGIndexNV after save project:
[vid delay-aud delay in mkvtoolnix] [delay in demuxed filename]
0-0 0ms
0-100 100ms
100-0 -100ms
100-100 0ms
100-200 100ms
200-100 -100ms
Also:
03 Una piccola ribellione.mkv 42ms
These agree with gmkvextractgui 'effective' (relative to video) delays. Note that mkvtoolnix gets wonky with any entered negative delay value, because it assumes you are going to cut video or audio. Never use a negative value for mkvtoolnix -- there is always an equivalent with positive values, e.g., instead of entering an audio delay of -100, enter a video delay of 100, etc.
BTW, that "03 Una piccola ribellione.mkv" stream starts with an open GOP, which further complicates things. So you can't just get the first video timestamp for comparison, because frames are stored out of order in the MKV. And to complicate it even more, that stream is field coded. You know what, working on radios is much easier. Maybe even QM.
I'll report the sizing issue to gmkvextractgui but for now it works if I maximize it.
No need to use mkvinfo or mkvextract code. My parser is up to the job. Yeah, I know we use mkvextract to extract chapters, but that is because I am lazy and the parser code did not have that capability.
Showing delays in the demux panel will come later if at all. Currently that stuff is only looked at during save project.
I don't have any plans to show anything more than the effective (relative to video) delays, as that is what will be needed for transcoding or remuxing demuxed ES streams.
This works good for now but I am not done, as there are some weirdnesses I need to look into. Also have to be careful what I change to maintain correct working with DGSource(). Your feedback will be appreciated.

Ooh, a 50 cent word. My hat is off to you.
The change was to correctly handle delay combos with a non-zero video delay, e.g., 100-0.
And now I feel like gnawing a few acorns.

I've got the new generation indexing completed (I hope). It all stemmed from this MKV delay issue that got me investigating. I found that the MKV support was a gigantic kludge and so decided to revamp it. That had implications outside the MKV code so it became a massive testing effort. Think about it:
For each combination of video type we have field/frame-based and open/closed GOP = 4 combos
We have 4 video types so we reach 4x4 = 16 combos.
We have 5 container types so we reach 5x16 = 80 combos
We have to check both DGIndexNV and DGDecodeNV, so we reach 2x80 = 160 testing combos.
Obviously I didn't test every combination but did test a large strategically sampled subset, coupled with a thorough code review.
So, I'm going to put out a release candidate probably today. The main things it will do are:
Fix GOP forward/backward stepping for MKV.
Fix delay calculation for MKV.
Add missing MKV compression support for DGSource (it was there for DGIndexNV, oops).
Fix some crashes with MP4.
But the main gain is for us, in terms of code understandability and maintainability. We can look at the code now and not say WTF!

Once I told you, I'll never let you get bored. Hat off for your investigation job.
Obviously the missing combination will be the bugged one.

Update both components and don't try to re-use existing DGI files.
Let's see how much stuff got broken.
Time for my siesta.

You lost me on that one. I'm gonna assume you meant that the test build is OK (so far). Squirrels are not good at reading between the lines. We are very literal, if not very literate.

I have batch demuxed ~100 mkv files and the audio delays are consistent with the previous patched build.
I have found an issue with frame rendering when the mkv is cut from a seasonal BD with a single M2TS for multiple episodes.
It shows a green screen on the first frames, while the previous version behaves correctly.
You can find two samples
https://krakenfiles.com/view/kvUA5L1lW8/file.html and
https://krakenfiles.com/view/j2GDXxsGbp/file.html.
To replicate issue, index them and open avs or vpy.

Hmm, that's annoying. Shouldn't be too hard to fix though. Thank you for the testing and report.

Please re-download and, as
Sherman would say, report your success.
See? The code is so maintainable now that the bug was easy to find and fix.
EDIT: Oops, give me a minute before downloading. I forgot to make the change for HEVC.
EDIT2: OK, good to go!
EDIT3: If you could test Vapoursynth that would be greatly appreciated.

Seems to be working, great.
Now a whole night of encoding will find if the initial tests are right.

Cool, thank you.
I encoded Baywatch without issues. Well, there was one issue but not mine. Apparently x265.exe wants mod 8.
Also put Reverse() at the end of several scripts to test random access on every frame. No issues.
I might do chapter marks on the timeline next.

Please re-download for the next test version. It eliminates the need for mkvextract to extract chapters by doing it internally. The old MKV parser library previously did not parse chapters and that's why I used mkvextract. So I bit the bullet and added chapters parsing to the library. Gonna need it anyway to show chapters on the timeline for MKV.

Whee!

Please re-download again to get chapter marks on the timeline for MKV.
May add that for other containers in the future. Also, may support XML chapters file for the other containers. I'd like to get this version released first.
